Is it possible to configure a static site generated nuxt app to also output a server for the APIs?

Hi @valerio. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, it is possible to configure a Nuxt app to generate static pages while also outputting a server for API routes. This can be achieved by configuring the Nitro build settings in your nuxt.config.ts file. Here's how you can set it up:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  nitro: {
    prerender: {
      crawlLinks: true,
      routes: ['/'],
      ignore: ["/api"]
    }
  },
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  nitro: {
    prerender: {
      crawlLinks: true,
      routes: ['/'],
      ignore: ["/api"]
    }
  },
})

This configuration does the following: 1. prerender: { crawlLinks: true, routes: ['/'] }: This tells Nuxt to prerender all pages by crawling links starting from the home page. 2. ignore: ["/api"]: This excludes the /api routes from being prerendered, allowing them to be handled by the server at runtime. With this setup, when you run nuxt build: - All your pages will be prerendered as static HTML files. - A server (e.g., worker.js for Cloudflare) will be generated to handle the /api routes at runtime. This approach allows you to have a hybrid setup where most of your site is statically generated for improved performance, while still maintaining dynamic API functionality.
